I think if there's got to be an "8" that is inconic for Chicago it should either be: A. in the "Chicago" font on the Macintosh OR B. The one the city uses for street signs (like 83rd St) OR C. the font the Bears use on the uniforms... just my opinion. I'm a snowman man myself.

I'm trained as an architect, so if I'm 'printing', circle on circle, with the upper circle being just slightly smaller than the lower. If I'm scribbling, one fluid motion.

Should the bottom and top circles be the same size, or should the bottom orb be bigger? The bottom should always be bigger.

I use two circles sometimes. Efficiency isn't everything.

In high school drafting class, we had to use the two circle, snowman style 8. But few people do that in real life when writing it as it's an inefficient way of writing it out.

No "8" in the Chicago font?
